Don’t Waste Durham’s Sustainable Food Truck certification program helps food trucks affordably grow in their commitment to sustainability, and it recognizes and promotes trucks that commit to low-waste, sustainable practices. To do this, the program connects food trucks to local resources that support sustainability, and it provides information and training to help restaurants and food trucks save money and reduce waste. Food trucks gain marketable sustainability certification and cool signage to show they are certified and to explain to customers what it means.

An important component of the program is an online buying portal where food trucks can purchase 100% certified compostable serviceware which are reviewed and approved by our composting partners. The portal gives food trucks a reliable local source to order their compostable cutlery, plates, cups, etc. at a lower cost. They can pick up locally or get affordable local delivery.

Goals and Objectives:

To reduce overall amount of waste produced by food vendors and their customers
